From Karen AustinCentral to our planting was the edict “Right Plant, Right Place” - choosing plants that naturally grow well in the conditions of climate and soil available to them and issues of sustainability. Every effort has been made to minimize the input needed to create and maintain our planting schemes. No artificial watering has taken place since the initial planting and minimum weeding is required as the plants have matured, spread and self-seeded. As well as the perennial nature of our herbaceous plants, we have also chosen varieties of bulbs that are long-lived and will increase over time.
